[GCP] Ensure compute metrics dashboard can be filtered by resource location

[endorama]

#5006 highlighted that the GCP Compute dashboard has a missing visualisation. When it was present, it was a filtering widget that could be used to filter data by cloud.provider, cloud.account.id and gcp.billing.invoice_month.

The fix is in progress, this issue wants to track the addition of filtering by resource location to the dashboard controls.

@endorama resource location == cloud.region? or cloud.availability_zone ? what do you think?

[endorama]

That's interesting. In most dashboard we are using gcp.*.labels.resource.<location | region | zone>

The correct label depends on the service. I'm not sure we duplicate the data to cloud.* fields, but if that's the case for all we should still use either:

• the one the service is using
• both

What do you think?

Edit: we have a mapping services <> label here

[tommyers-elastic]

interesting - the compute metrics don't have any labels.resource fields for me. but the aforementioned cloud. fields are populated here.

Could it be you are collecting metrics with exclude_labels: true? (docs)

exclude_labels: (true/false default false) Do not extract extra labels and metadata information from metricsets and fetch metrics only. At the moment, labels and metadata extraction is only supported in compute metricset.

Hi! We just realized that we haven't looked into this issue in a while. We're sorry! We're labeling this issue as Stale to make it hit our filters and make sure we get back to it as soon as possible. In the meantime, it'd be extremely helpful if you could take a look at it as well and confirm its relevance. A simple comment with a nice emoji will be enough :+1. Thank you for your contribution!
